America Lost and Found: The BBS Story includes seven movies.
Three of these movies are five-star masterpieces:
Easy Rider
Five Easy Pieces
The Last Picture Show
Two of these movies are classics in more subtle ways in terms of historical context and general entertainment and are still awesome overall:
Head
The King of Marvin Gardens
One movie is low-key, but fascinating in the sense that it's a cool story of college life in the Vietnam era:
Drive, He Said
One movie is... there.
A Safe Place
The bottom line is that America Lost and Found is more than worth the money simply for the best three movies listed above. Any of those three movies would be deserving of an elaborately-packaged expensive stand-alone Criterion title. The rest of the movies are icing on the cake. Overall, the box set is a great value purchase.
